Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What to expect if I have Hysterectomy  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
### Response: How long it takes you to recover depends on the type of hysterectomy. Recovery may take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks. Average recovery times are:
Abdominal hysterectomy: 4 - 6 weeks Vaginal hysterectomy: 3 - 4 weeks Robot-assisted hysterectomy: 2 - 4 weeks
A hysterectomy will cause menopause if you also have your ovaries removed. Removal of the ovaries can also lead to a decreased sex drive. Your doctor may recommend estrogen replacement therapy.
